The conference will focus on the technology and business of content
delivery across multiple platforms (cable, satellite, terrestrial,
DSL and mobile) to multiple devices.
The conference programme involves senior people with high level
operational experience in broadcasting, network operation and telco
TV, as well as key players from technology vendors and service providers.
The speakers include BBC New Media and technology director Ashley
Highfield, BBCi 24/7 controller Rahul Chakkura, BSkyB director new
product development and sales Brian Sullivan and EchoStar VP Ben
van den Broek
Mediacast exhibition director Amanda Strange says, “Unlike conferences
that charge up to £1,200 for involvement, the Mediacast conference
is a free event designed to encourage and promote the sharing of
information amongst the world’s top international operators, technology
suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, content providers, installers
and retailers. The new era of content delivery and expenditure in
the next 10 years will be unlike anything we have seen before.
"The need to move, manage, secure and monetise television
and on-demand video services has moved beyond getting TV channels
to screens in our living rooms. The battle is on to retain and attract
subscribers and increase average revenue per user. Today we are
at the dawning of the Content Everywhere Era, where consumers have
a massive choice of content and are able to view and experience
that content anywhere, anytime. Mediacast will provide an ideal
forum for visitors, exhibitors and speakers to share their experiences
and explore the technologies and business models that will drive
this new era.”
